Abstract
Although cervical carcinoma is common, cutaneous metastasis is rare. In advanced disease, metastases may be present
in the adnexa, abdomen, lungs, bone, liver and lymph nodes or. elsewhere. Cutaneous metastasis is uncommon. Unusual
sites of metastasies seems to be skin, brain, heart and spleen. In this case, a 45 years old female was diagnosed to have
squamous cell carcinoma of cervix on february 2013, who took radiotherapy treatment presented with cutaneous
metastasis after a year. She received 4400 cGy/22 fractions of Extended Beam radiotherapy, followed by 4 doses of
700 cGy Cavity Radiotherapy (Brachytherapy). She completed her treatment on march, 6, 2013 with complete remission,
without any complication. She was considered cured by the oncologists until after a year when she presented with
cutaneous metastasis, which was proven with skin biopsy. The case is reported as this kind of case seems to be rare
as far as our knowledge is concerned.
